We check the website often and have invited Mr. Thompson, Mr. Wall and Mr. Corcoran to our radio show.
We believe that Mr. Thompson's website is one of the finest places to learn about Mexico and US-Mex relations.
This week, Mr. Thompson added my article to the website: Why are we doing this to President Calderon and Mexico?
We are happy for two reasons:
We like exposure and new readers.....who does not?
More seriously, we are appalled at the Obama Administration's treatment of Mexico.
My article was written from a US national security standpoint.
All of us understand the national security implications of more problems in Mexico.
Unfortunately for our Mexican friends, and specially the ones who got hallucinated with chants of "si se puede", it was McCain, not BO, who spoke often about the importance of trade and stability in Mexico!
McCain was talking about Mexico. BO was doing "hope and change"!
BO was also telling union workers a bunch of lies about NAFTA.
We wrote a lot about this during the campaign!
NAFTA did not hurt Ohio. It was high taxes and unreasonable labor unions who think that businesses can just go on raising wages forever.
Let me say it again.
It would be a disaster to have more violence and chaos in Mexico, a country of 100 million people and commercial partner.
Mexico is also suffering the consequences of the US recession.
And tourism was impacted by the flu scare of a few months ago!
I ask again: Why are we making life more difficult for Mexico?
So we hope that someone at The White House rethinks the Mexico policy, from Mexican trucks to mindless human rights accusations.
Again, thank you Mr. Thompson!
P.S. Let's watch that video again about BO and NAFTA. It was one of the most irresponsible performances in presidential campaign history:

When BO came down here a few weeks ago and told Pres Calderon he was just too busy to think about immigration reform now, I think be blew off Mexico on all issues for his first (hopefully last) term.
Hillary is a disaster as SoS. I'd prefer she stays away.
